 A:
Yes, but it is a more complicated process due to unevenly distributed highlighted pieces, which are usually much softer. We require an in-salon advanced consultation. During the consultation, we will test and analyze each section for any major damage and random sensitivity. Note, we strongly recommend staying away from thin highlights on a dark base.

Comparison

 Q:  What is the difference between Japanese hair straightening and keratin treatment/ Brazilian straightening?

Brazilian or keratin treatment relaxer is a glue-like, very temporary budget relaxer, the glue is pressed in with a hot flat iron, which only lasts 5 - 7 weeks and then your will get your waves and frizz reborn because after that, the glue keratin will be washed out. Instead, we offer and recommend either Japanese relaxer, which will keep semi-straight option quite permanently for up to 20 weeks or Japanese straightening which is permanent and the new growth only needs to be straightened in 6 to 8 months.

Names

 Q:  What are other names for Japanese hair straightening?

 A:
Permanent Japanese straightening, thermal reconditioning, high-tech straight perm, rebonding, ionic retexturizing, and thermal reconstruction.

Maintenance

 Q:  How soon / when can I wash my hair after permanent hair straightening?

 A:
It is 72 hours or 48 for permanent relaxers.

Alternatives

 Q:  Why other types of relaxers can be damaging?

 A:
Most relaxers have only one formula for all types of curls and colors. Very sensitive areas are restructured much sooner than others and as a result when all is done, delicate sections can be dramatically overcooked. We, however, work individually with sensitive and healthy areas separately, ensuring each section is processed correctly. By using multiple formulas tailored to each condition and setting individual timers for different sections, we strive to achieve a precise and customized treatment for every client.
